OT: How should I act or do in this situation..

So, I haven't had the best relationship with my MiL. Days ago we had argument because she can't seem to mind her own business and she doesn't get the part that her son is now my husband and she wants to address to him by cute callings like " mi amor, mi chikito", everytime we see her and I hate it. Anyways, Sunday is her B-Day and hubby works bit wants me to go to her house and spend some time with the family and take her a gift. And I'm like okaaay.. I feel like oh no, seriously I wish I didn't go, but I'll do it for hubby. How do you gals think I should act without being rude??

Um.. There is nothing wrong with his mother calling him those names. It's HER son and she can call him whatever she wants. As for everything else, I think you should suck it up and play nice with his (now yours too) family. Mothers are overbearing, it happens.

Yeah I'm never comfortable around my mil either. I feel like she still sees him as her little boy. But for the sake of my husband, I just bite my tongue and just act polite around her. So just show up for a little bit and smile as long as you can and leave early by telling them you're not feeling well.

I think her calling HER SON cute names is fine
That's her son and no matter what she may always see him as her little boy

You don't have to attend to party but its just easier if you do
Your going to deal with this women the rest of your life
And this may cause trouble between you and your husband because that is his mother after all.

But he's.not her little.boy anymore.

He has his own family, a wife and a child on the way.

His mother is.now his family of origin. Period. There.is.no dealing with mil, if.you don't want to see her, don't.

If he's.going.to.get mad because you don't want to see his mooooommmmmyy, well, there's bigger issues going on.
